E3: MGS Rising will have multiplayer

June 18, 2010

Shigenobu Matsuyama and Mineshi Kimura were asked what their plans were – if any – for multiplayer in Rising. Would it be like Metal Gear Online? Would it be something completely different? They responded thusly:“We’re still actually considering this aspect as of now. We won’t make the game without online, but we’re still considering what element of online to put in the game.”

So there you have it. Metal Gear Solid: Rising will have online multiplayer, but nobody – even the people making it – have any idea what it will be like just yet. We’re hoping for one on one swordfights, truth be told – or competitive melon slicing.
